Ant McPartlin and his wife Anne-Marie Corbett are reportedly expecting their first child together.
It’s said the beloved I’m A Celebrity host, 48, is finally going to become a dad. He and Anne are due to welcome their first baby in June, it is understood, just four months away.
Ant has wanted kids for a while and it’s believed he’s shared his baby joy with best mate and co-host Declan Donnelly, as well as the rest of the Britain’s Got Talent (BGT) cast. Ant and Anne, who got married in August 2021, are reportedly “beyond delighted” to be starting a family.

A source told The Sun: “This is the news everyone wanted. Ant and Anne- Marie are beyond delighted.
“It’s no secret that Ant has always wanted children, but that it may never happen for him was something he had, sadly, come to terms with.
“When they found out last year, they were absolutely delighted, but obviously kept the news quiet for as long as possible. To be having a child two years short of his 50th birthday, with the love of his life, is the stuff of dreams for Ant.
“He’s already a wonderful, doting father to Anne-Marie’s kids, and together they’re going to be brilliant parents to this latest addition to the family.”
It would mean the pair, who tied the knot in August 2021, had been able to keep their baby news under wraps for months. It’s reported Anne-Marie has already had her five-month scan.
Ant and Anne-Marie got married three years ago at St Michael’s Church in Heckfield, Hampshire. Dec was best man at the star-studded ceremony, which was attended by TV stars like Stephen Mulhern and axed presenter Phillip Scofield.
They first became a couple in 2018 after the presenter split from ex Lisa Armstrong. Anne-Marie used to work as a personal assistant for Lisa, who is now head of make-up for Strictly Come Dancing. Ant and Anne-Marie now live in South West London with her two teenage daughters and their two Maltipoo dogs, Milo and Bumble.
The Geordie star previously admitted how he and Lisa had been trying for kids when they were together. His BGT co-host Dec gave his son Joseph the middle name Anthony in tribute to his best mate.
